dirty water
I guess we add Flint, MI to the list.
According to local officials, about 40% of residents are below the poverty rate. Fifteen percent of homes are boarded up and abandoned. Weaver says the city of 100,000 doesn’t even have a grocery store. And now its residents don’t have clean water either.
Welcome to America.
“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to the melody of your harps I will not listen.
But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.- Amos 5:21-24
I hate, I despise your rhetoric. I take no delight in your protest of using lands that you don’t own. Even though you tithe you withhold basic resources to whole cities to save a penny, I will not accept them. Your desire for peace is twisted by your desire to be comfortable, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your segregated Sunday service. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream, that my creation in Flint, MI might have clean water.
